CASE STUDYThe Starkey Renovation
Reweaving history and modern living in historic Inman Park
This 1910s home, once fragmented by past renovations, was transformed into a cohesive space that unites historic charm with modern functionality.
Our initial focus was on reshaping the home’s dated layout and underutilized space into a sustainable plan suitable for a modern family.
Grounded in function
On the main level, extra living space became a private office, while two small bedrooms merged into a generous primary suite with a walk-in closet and laundry. A new half-bath improved circulation, and a high-efficiency wood stove now anchors the living area. In the dining room, a pellet stove and built-in banquette create warmth and connection.
Spaces reimagined
The kitchen was refreshed with refaced cabinetry, improved daylight, and a cozy seating nook. Upstairs, the spiral stair was rotated to improve flow, freeing room for a larger bedroom, an additional bath, and a second laundry. Reworked roof insulation brought comfort and efficiency.
Restoring character
While the home’s silhouette remained, patterned glass from the 1980s was removed, original siding restored, and a new roof and paint gave the exterior a crisp finish.
A home renewed
The result is a home that feels cohesive, efficient, and deeply connected to its historic character—ready for its next century in Inman Park.
